Octopush, or as it is better known Underwater Hockey, is a very physical and fun sport. It comprises of two teams the aim being to manoeuvre a puck accross the width or length of the swimming pool floor, underwater, in an attempt to score a goal in the opposing teams goal. The puck is propelled by small hand held bats or hockey stick.
